Lemmy Deep Lighthouse

I built a Firefox extension to help people bring their own Reddit posts over to Lemmy.

It lets you map subreddits you post in to Lemmy communities, review queued posts before publishing, and post through your own Lemmy account. Settings and credentials stay in your browser; there is no hosted service.

This is intended for republishing your own work, not scraping or reposting other people’s content. The goal is to make moving from Reddit to Lemmy less tedious while keeping authors in control.

    The bot problem is so pervasive on reddit you are inadvertently giving bots and non-human controlled accounts more of a platform if you use this tool.

    I prefer organically sourced content. Yes, even if it’s people possibly saving stuff off reddit and reposting it here. I don’t need reddit in a shitty mass repack.

    Btw, contrary to what you think you’re doing, you’re not “a hero” for doing this. You’re not going to be some Lemmy power user admired by all.

      Im fully prepared to get negative feedback. That is ok - Im confident this is a good idea and a great solution.
      this is completely ok if we dont see eye to eye - you are entitled to your opinion.
